Master Stephanus Concordance¶
Cross-Corpus Reconciliation Across Euclid, Elements, Proclus, Aristotle, Hoenen & Pacioli
This concordance reconciles every plato:* citation across the six sister repositories of the GEOMETOR Digital Scriptorium (36 canonical citation keys spanning 58 repository-level declarations and 63 apparatus files in geometor/euclid, geometor/elements, geometor/proclus, geometor/aristotle, geometor/hoenen, and geometor/pacioli) directly to synchronized Stephanus anchors in Loci Mathematici et Geometrici.
